It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[PannickAtTheDisco]

He’s had three seasons in his whole top-flight managerial career where he hasn’t won the title

well, if he wants to play Barca instead of City here he'll get used to it.

Emotions are maybe a bit raw now after the news that Messi is staying but am I reading too much into that Sam Lee tweet or was it some kind of piss take on Tolmie's FC posts on here?

Just a bit of fun with the FC terminology.

As stated in one of the other pages, it's clear as anything that he needed to get it out there how much he loves Barcelona and despite even making his family unhappy, wanted to be happy somewhere else. It's a final powerplay, inviting a bid to be considered, under the scrutiny of the the world.

DO you think we will now put a bid in to apply pressure?

Since this not an exclusive Messi thread... @tolmie's hairdoo heard anything on koulibaly or possibly Aouar?

 

[simon23]

Koulabily & Aoure is ok for me

If we are lucky CF please

Supposedly we have a plan B to messi

IF we dont go back for Messi it means we have a big wedge left and a lot of wiggle room to sign someone else - other clubs may be worrying about their big players.

Havertz is an attacking mid and not someone we need. We have De Bruyne, Foden and Bernardo in this position.

Striker wise we are set. Agüero still has a year or two at the very top and Jesus is getting better every season. We should be lucky we have a striker as good as him as a secondary man. He’d start for most european teams.

I’d say a box-to-box Aouar to speed things up in the middle, and Koulibaly.
A couple of weeks ago I’d say leftback, but I’d be happy playing Mendy-Aké there. This upcoming season is probably make or break for Mendy at this club. He need to get back to his Monaco form and fast. That’s the guy we bought.

I think both Mendy and Bernardo need to rediscover their form.

I doubt Mendy ever will, his knee injury's have taken their toll.

As for Haverz and Werner, I hope we don't regret not going for them.

I hope it isn't sick note Kane.

How anyone can watch that Messi interview and slag him off is beyond me. The guy is clearly gutted about how this has turned out. I'm not clinging on but I'll be very surprised if this is the end of the story

Why would he make that interview days ago though if there was a genuine chance of him moving?
